Call of Duty: Ghosts, Battlefield 4 and the latest Madden all have two things in common. The first being that they will all be in millions of homes by the end of the year, each comfortably shifting enough copies to make the grinning money men of both Activision and EA tilt back in their chair, smoke a cigar and have a small toast to congratulate a fantastic marketing campaign.
The second is that none of them are coming to Wii U.
If you were a 90s kid excited about Nintendo’s upcoming N64 console, you likely read something somewhere about the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, also known as the 64DD or DD64.
Other nominees include games like SimCity & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
There are some good nominees in this list that are deserving to be inducted also, but I feel Metroid has had the most impact on the industry out of all of these. Look how Metroid influenced the evolution of the Castlevania games, and the "Metroidvania" subgenre of games have become a prevailing force in gaming today. Especially now, Metroidvanias are bigger than ever.
I can very much see Resident Evil being added later too, bc it really did popularize and define the survival horror genre. I would say that one is next in line.
If any Metroid game should get the honor it should be Super Metroid , it's perfection in my eyes . 30 years later and I still feel it's the most epic shit ever .
The GBA remake deserves it or Super Metroid, the original was a very sloppy and rushed game programmed in 3 months and it shows.
If you've never played the remake, it's absolutely a must play, fixes basically every flaw in the game. Check out ExoParadigmGamer's comparison video.
“Before even Kirby was born, HAL Laboratory released the super-cute puzzler Adventures of Lolo in 1989 and it has held up beautifully.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Yeah if they wan't to get their casuals back (due to the high amount of consoles it sold Nintendo with their first Wii), they need to offer more of the kinds of games that drew casuals in in the first place. But they also have to keep in mind the core too, since the casual market is kind of finicky and unreliable at times (they come and go at a whim, and casuals are not known for showing loyalty like core gamer's do).
Ours just gathers dust. Aside from Mario, nothing has really been that interesting and even Mario got old fast.
Call of Duty: Ghosts is almost certainly coming to Wii U.
Activision never said Call of Duty Ghosts wasn't coming to Wii U.
ditching E3 wasn't a good move in order to find a place in peoples livingrooms with new more powerful consoles coming.
